Tertiary Basketball League: Bayley, Grimmond enjoy success thus far

Since the Tertiary Basketball League coordinated by Youth Basketball Guyana (YBG) began on May 5 at the National Gymnasium, the League has seen notable performances with the likes of Kimol Grimmond and Jushawn Bayley reaping success.
On Sunday night, Linden Technical Institute’s Grimmond scored 33 points to lead his team to an undefeated tournament run against the Guyana School of Agriculture.

Jushawn Bayley was instrumental in the University of Guyana’s offensive attack, scoring the game’s final shot and finishing with a total of 33 points, handing the Government Technical Institute their second defeat.
Grimmond, in giving an exclusive comment to Guyana Times Sport, divulged the key towards his ability to reap success and the improvements needed.
“Just keeping focus, coming in with the mentality to win this game, because we want to be undefeated to send a statement to the rest of the teams, so yes that was my motivation for this game. Just work as a team more. I mean there is some slackness in our defence which we need to work on heading into the finals and semi-finals,” Grimmond divulged.
On the other hand, Bayley, in an invited comment, shared that his teammates were the key to the team’s ability to put the ball through the net, and he hoped to continue his performance in the semi-final stage as his team look to defend their title.
